Manchester City are reportedly confident that Raheem Sterling's recent return to form will convince him to sign a new deal at the Etihad.
After enjoying a sensational summer with England at Euro 2020, Sterling has endured a frustrating campaign with City with just four starts in the Premier League this season.
The 26-year-old though has scored in recent victories against Club Brugge, Everton and Paris Saint-Germain - the first time since August 2020 that he has scored in three consecutive appearances.
Sterling has 18 months left on his contract and the Sun have reported that City are hopeful he will sign a new deal, after the player 'wanted assurances' that he remains part of Pep Guardiola's plans.
